<p>Like UCLA or Stanford?</p>
<p>As an international student you won’t get a scholarship from UCLA. It’s a public school, funded by California taxpayers, and limits its financial aid to California students. </p>
<p>Stanford is a private school and offers financial aid to very few, highly accomplished (and very lucky) international students. If you’re a true stand-out among thousands of qualified students you too could end up with financial aid at Stanford – or Yale, Harvard, Princeton etc. It’s a bit like playing lotto.</p>
